That’s partly do to the CPU of the Mini being utilised by Plex’s hardware transcoding. Nonetheless, in the rare occasions when all of us are steaming at the same time and the 2 transcodes are happening, the Mac Mini handles everything like a champ. The outliers being the PS4 and Chromecast which have to transcode H.265 video to H.264 or when external subtitles are used (PS4). After making adjustment on each of the devices respected Plex apps, the media direct streams…most of the time.
All my media, which consists of 1080p movies/series and the occasional 4K movie, is stored on an external 4TB HDD and have my Mac Mini connected to the internet via Ethernet (Internet speeds: 500/500 mbs).Īpart from myself, 5 other people have remote access to my Plex server, each of them from a different device and location (PS4, Xbox One, Samsung TV, PC, Chromecast). I guess it will depend entirely on your use case and expectations however, I am using a Mac Mini 2012 (i5 dual core, 8GB RAM, 1TB SSD) to run my Plex server.
